The Honey Drippers

Impeach the President

The Honey Drippers were a group of high school students from Jamaica High School in Jamaica, Queens.

Roy Charles Hammond, also known as Roy C, wrote this song for the Honey Drippers in 1973. The song, which was a reaction to the ongoing Watergate scandal, would later be sampled by numerous artists, including Wu Tang Clan, Janet Jackson, and LL Cool J.

Lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen
We have the Honey Drippers in the house tonight
They just got back from Washington, DC
I think they got somethin' they want to say
Some people say that he's guilty (that he's guilty)
Some people say I don't know (I don't know)
Some people say, give him a chance (give him a chance)
Aw, some people say, wait till he’s convicted (till he’s convicted)
Impeach the President
Impeach the President
Impeach the President
Impeach the President
Impeach the President
(Aw nah, we can't do that, man—nah, nah)
Impeach the President (Shut up, fool!)
Impeach the President
Impeach the President
Impeach the President
Impeach the President
Impeach the President
Impeach the President
Impeach the President
Impeach the President
Aw, yeah
Behind the walls, of the White House
There's a lot of things, that we don't know about
Behind the walls, of the White House
There's a lot of things, that we should know about
Impeach the President (Aw, yeah)
Impeach the President
Impeach the President
Impeach the President (Yeah)
Impeach the President
Impeach the President
Impeach the President
Impeach the President
Impeach the President
Impeach the President
Impeach the President
Impeach the President
